ALLEN PARK -- Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh talked to the media for the first time since his most recent on-field controversy, a well-placed foot to the groin of Houston Texans quarterback Matt Shaub on Thanksgiving.

"It's a crazy play," Suh said. "It's one that unfortunately happened. I didn't even realize until the end of the game and I see my Twitter feed, I have my friends tell me about it. Other than that, I can't do much more about it. I was being dragged to the ground and my foot inadvertently hit the man. It's over with. I'm moving forward, getting ready to play the Colts."

Many speculated, because of Suh's history, the kick would draw a suspension. He understands, after his nationally televised stomp of Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith, he'll always be judged by a different standard.

"I think I'm always going to be punished in some form or fashion for last Thanksgiving," Suh said. "I apologize for it and I'm going to continue to apologize for it. It's something that happened, a mistake that I've made. I'm living up to it and continuing to move past it."

But after reviewing the play, the league decided against another suspension. Suh said he wasn't contacted by league during the review process and wasn't sure what to expect.

"I had no clue. I just took it with open arms as I'm taking it now with open arms. Fortunately, I'm not being suspended, so I'll be out there on Sunday, be able to still have an impact and help my team win a game."
